ben_vulpes: i am now more completely aware of
the question's stupidity,
thank you all.
phf: ben_vulpes: it's a silly convention, because count(anything) would've returned
the row count. select count(42) from foo would've returned
the same result
Framedragger: pete_dushenski: ah
thanks very much,
there's another newly documented command `getarchive` in
there, could you include
that
too, please? :) (no hurries
tho, it's not like
they're super essential anyway heh)
ben_vulpes: eh, if i'd done it against a
table with
two rows it'd have made sense immediately.
ben_vulpes: the really funny
thing is
that i ran a similar query against a
table with one row
Framedragger: count()
takes "what
to return for *every* matching row", basically. "1" is also a
thing
to return, so it returns >15m of "1"s
ben_vulpes: i am going
to raise my hand and ask a stupid question
ben_vulpes: "a database for when persistence means
turning fsync on"
pete_dushenski: "Trilema hurt my head on-and-off for Nearly a year.Then it hit me like a
ton of bricks-shit." << what chrome
thinks my en quote would sound like if it were ro
then converted back
to en.
mircea_popescu: (anyone who
tried
this knows it's entirely impractical)
mircea_popescu: i dunno, some bit about how
the chinese emperors din't have covers on
their beds, slept covered in women
phf: mircea_popescu:
that'll require
translation
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: i'll
transition when i am ready for web scale!!
Framedragger: pete_dushenski: could you update bots page? `/msg scriba help` is up
to date nao
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: fuck
that guy, he left
the only usable visual git client for os x
to rot without releasing
the source.
mircea_popescu: phf
to quote from a film i don't recall, "niente coveri, solo corpi di
tinere donne"
Framedragger: ^ alright, worx. may not be
too
terribly useful, but it uses a new l33t backend provided by siphnos.mkj.lt,
to be documented later
ben_vulpes: i regard
this vast wasteland of unclaimed irc channels
mircea_popescu: the 2nd one has a proper source, maybe just read
the original ? it's a for-romanian-tards discussion of an english piece
mircea_popescu: i cant believe i've not
translated
the
two girls one ?!
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : romanian census 1930 was mostly paid for by
the soros foundation of 1930.
mircea_popescu: from ancient
tomes : "organizarea actuala a Serviciului Statisticei Demografice, destinata a fi una din realizarile cele mai perfectionate existente in prezent, s'a putu face in primul rind datorita concursului acordat de catre Fundatiunea Americana Rockefeller, care, prin conventiunea incheiata cu Ministerul Sanatatii, asigura

mircea_popescu: they're not
terribly expensive, if you have an automated process can get 10-20 up at all
times with a lifetime no longer
than 2-4 weeks for less
than 1btc/year. experimentally
that's
the lower margin of enough.
mircea_popescu: gets around
the whole "enemy knows who it's
talking
to"
thing.
mircea_popescu: btw ben_vulpes : you might consider making yourself a process
to stand up vps instances of listener nodes
to spray out at you new blocks as
they hear
them.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-09-29 18:50 mircea_popescu: whaack it is entirely possible
that your node is stuck on validating
that block because of lack of ram, yes.
whaack: ty! I just finished setting up a bouncer. Re
the last
time I was here
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-29#1550381 my ultimate solution was just clearing my .bitcoin I believe and running it again and it did not get stuck. I never figured out why i was stuck

ben_vulpes: who is
the monoagent in webtech? i see a zillion "dev", "companies" etc
mircea_popescu: right,
the soviets had
the same issue,
their ideology became ever more windingly complex.
ben_vulpes: yeah or why every day i come home
there's some gorgeous new socialist propaganda
to scour off
the walls
mircea_popescu: kinda why solitary confinement is
thought
to cause insanity.
mircea_popescu: re
the "research project" :
the data's
there. if anyone cares, can go use it ; if not cares, not cares. either way problem solved.
ben_vulpes: more of an open ended research project
than "production blockchain api replacement"
a111: Logged on 2017-01-12 19:32 ben_vulpes: for what it's worth, when i spot check it against other "block explorers" it's seen blocks before
them.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-12#1601941 <<
this is a useful record in
that one can
take
the list of mimisbrunnr , which exists
timestampted in chan, and compare
to list of blockchain.info for instance, see what dt is involved. sum it up over 10k blocks or whatever
☝︎ mircea_popescu: maybe
they should shoot some flaming ice for a change.
mircea_popescu: in my own mind it's about as strong re
this as otp, "you can get any message you want back out", but admittedly
that's mostly self infatuation
ben_vulpes: for what it's worth, when i spot check it against other "block explorers" it's seen blocks before
them.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ah, yeah. less
than useful i suppose
then if it's mostly an indicator of node state.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
trinque welcomes
the lulz of
the
transgendered, seed shooting us.mil of
the 21st century
trinque: incidentally mats, catch any of
the mattis confirmation hearing? sounded
to be about 50% "but what about
the womens and gays?!" before I
turned it off.
trinque: holy shit, I just considered making a joke
that
they should have seeds in
them.
ben_vulpes: there is some lag between when it learns about a block and when it reports it
to irc, as it dumps and parses blocks, but it reports
the logged
timestamp accurately
to
the best of my knowledge.
ben_vulpes: no i kid, it's
the
time at which
the node shits ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED

pete_dushenski: from related msm piece, “We’ve been meeting with
them regularly over
the last
two
to
three years.
The only difference is
that
they
talked about it
this
time,” Bobby Lee, chief executive of BTC China,
the world’s largest exchange by
trading volume over
the past month,
told
the Financial
Times. “I
think
their intent is

mircea_popescu: i now have
to start writing an article IN
THE MIDDLE OF WRITING AN ARTICLE. damn you all!
mircea_popescu: fwiw i wasn't
terribly impressed with
that particular statement.
mircea_popescu: and yes i plant my own lovage, in buenos aires, because
the plant doesn't exist and "soup condiment mix" doesn't satisfy.
mircea_popescu: davout no, not really, because i buy ~apples~. your question would be "at which point you stop buying canned frozen fruit
tm for your apple pie". anyone may give his own answer, but in my case it's long, long ago.
davout: mircea_popescu: yea, i guess
the question is where you stop. at which point do you decide
that you're going
to buy
these apples instead of growing
them, because ultimately you want an apple pie
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's very symbolically imperial, also.
the language of "rights" and "rule of law" makes it
trival
to start a "war on drugs" or "women against rape".
then
the state ends and everyone is at a loss why
the fuck it did.
mircea_popescu: cue ballas with his "there's a difference between what you need and what you want, and
the media will relentlessly give you strings"
